Catching up on some old posts here...

No, they do not have to be logged into the admincp/modcp first. It's a single-file .xml install, it would have actually been faster to try for yourself than type your question :)

I haven't seen that before, nor had anyone else report this. Is this issue still current, if so please PM me with the details of your setup to see if I can figure out why that might happen.

Well I looked at the pic you posted and could see nothing other than the fact you drew a box around the forum name used in the example. I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific about what you are trying to say, because I've no idea.

When I took that error message and put it into google I found people suggesting that this indicates possible problems with your tables, and suggesting running repair / optimise on them. This message has nothing to do with this mod.

There is no requirement that mods must be compatible with the same versions of older software that the current version of vbulletin allows. That's why a system of minimum version numbers was built into the plugin system. In fact, starting from vbulletin 4.0 I'd be very surprised if they allow MySQL 4.0 to be used. See this post.

This mod uses sub queries. Sub queries are not possible in 4.0. There are a whole host of things which are possible in 4.1 and not in 4.0, as well as performance issues. In fact, many times when I try to do something useful with mysql I find that it is not possible with 4.0. Very small numbers of people still use 4.0 (since the arguments to upgrade, at least from my perspective, are good ones), so I don't really see the sense in committing the additional time required to rewrite what is essentially a simple query into a larger chunk of code to avoid using sub queries.

If someone else wants to undertake the work to rewrite that code to work in mysql 4.0 then I will include it into a new version, but I have limited resources at the moment, so I didn't ever plan to undertake such work.

Since this question seems to come up over and over I'll add it to a FAQ at the start of this thread.

awesome, hack installed and banned 2 members as they requested it

AWESOME! Installing now and thank GOD (and mfyvie) for this hack, LOL.

:)

hey thanks for the great hack. One problem which has been mentioned: the postbit drop down part is not showing. How do I add my custom template to the hook?
Added: $template_hook[postbit_user_popup]
but still nothing ^

Sorry I am totally new to this*

This completely rocks. It saves me so much time and effort each day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Please PM or Reply. I want this hack badly. ;) lol thanks in adv.

Like the others, there is probably something non-standard in your template that is causing this (if you have followed the instructions elsewhere in this thread).

I suggest that if the postbit drop down menu doesn't work for you, then simply click through to the members profile page, then click on the one-touch spam ban and clean option that appears on the profile page to do the same thing.

I'm not convinced that is the issue here. I've tried installing this on a fresh board and I still don't see the link in postbit legacy. Does this work with both postbit and postbit legacy?

I second the motion to add IP banning as an option in the mod configuration.

Thanks for a great hack anyway.

I really love this mod. Thank you very much.
It makes it so quick and easy to get rid of "unwanted" users.
